The Roemer sits on what was the
city's major square in the Middle Ages, the Roemerberg
(Roman Hill), which we look at in a separate section.
Since it's near total destruction in
WWII, the Roemer complex has been rebuilt to a degree, though for the most part,
except for the famous facade, in a stylized, modernized form. Only the
House Silberberg survives unaltered.
